Have Your Say On The Redevelopment Of Bank Station

Bank station is one of the busiest on the network, with almost 100 million passengers per year. It urgently requires major improvements, both to increase capacity and to improve those utterly loathsome interchanges. Plans are afoot for new escalators and lifts, new connecting tunnels, a new station entrance on Cannon Street, and the conversion of an existing Northern Line platform tunnel into a walkway (with the tracks shifting into a new tunnel). Diamond Geezer goes into more analysis.

Transport for London is setting out these latest plans to public consultation. You can give your views online, or visit a small exhibition in nearby St Mary Abchurch from 8-11 October (11am-7pm). This will include a scale model of the proposals (which are a little hard to fathom on a screen), with TfL staff on hand to talk you through. Oh, and you can admire this very handsome Wren church while you're there.

Consultation ends on 8 November, and building work is supposed to being in April 2016 for completion in 2021.

Cute scale model helps to confirm the mental one we all have. Also excellent timeline, fun fly-through big build style graphics. All well explained by informative TfL staff...

Whatever they do, it can't get any more complicated than it is. I've been using Bank station for years and I still get lost down there. I think there might be people who live in the tunnels because they can't find their way out.
